obsoleted by C++11
* in most cases, it can be replaced by an explicit conversion operator
* especially for the Lumiera Forward Iterators, we need an implicit conversion
...since there is not any test coverage for this trait, which
turned out to be quite deeply rooted in the system by now and
handles several rather subtle special cases
This is a little bit of functionality needed again and again;
first I thought to use the TypedCounter, but this would be overkill,
since we do not actually need different instances, and we do not need
to select by type when incrementing the counter. In fact, we do not
even need anything beyond just allocating a number.
So I made a new class, which can be used RAII style
incidentally, this uncovered yet another unwanted narrowing conversion,
namely from double via gavl_time_t to TimeValue or alternatively
from double via FSecs (= rational<long>) to Duration.
As in all the previos cases, actually the compiler is to blame,
and GCC-5 is known to get that one right, i.e. let the SFINAE fail
instead of passing it with a "narrowing conversion" warning.
Note: the real test for command binding with immutable types
can be found in BusTerm_test
very similar to boost::irange, but without heavyweight boost
includes, and moreover based on our Lumiera Forward Iterator concept
Such a inline-range construct makes writing simple tests easy
without that check, in theory our test runner will tolerate
a non-zero return value, like throwing or failing an assert,
which is not what we want....
guess these happenend to get in by forgetting to
add this check when switching a test from PLANNED to TEST
due to the new automatic string conversion in operator<<
the representation of objects has changed occasionally.
I've investigated and verified all those incidents.
- the tests covering threadind support and object monitors
are located in the backend test-library and linked against liblumierabackend.so
- some fundamental facilities of proc-layer moved from the library tree
into the basic components tree, since *testing* them requires at least
to link against liblumieracommon.so
